Risk Disclosure Statement
Investing in private and early-stage companies through equity crowdfunding and trading those shares on a secondary market involves a high degree of risk. By accessing and using this platform, you acknowledge, understand, and accept that you may lose part or all of your invested capital. Investments of this nature are speculative, illiquid, and inherently uncertain. There is no guarantee of income, dividends, resale opportunities, or any return on investment. You should only invest amounts that you can afford to lose entirely without affecting your financial situation or obligations.
Private company shares are not listed or traded on a public exchange. Liquidity is extremely limited, and there may be no active or reliable secondary market for these securities. Even where a secondary market exists, you may be unable to sell your shares promptly or at a price equal to or higher than the amount you originally paid. The platform makes no representation, warranty, or assurance regarding the existence, operation, or performance of any secondary market, nor does it guarantee that you will be able to resell your investment at any time.
Investors in private companies typically have limited or no control over company decisions. As a minority shareholder, you may not have voting rights or influence over the management or direction of the company. Unlike public companies, private issuers are not subject to the same level of continuous disclosure or reporting obligations. Information provided by issuers may be limited, delayed, or incomplete, and valuations may not reflect fair market value. The pricing of securities offered through this platform may be determined solely by the issuer without independent verification.
In the United States, offerings made through this platform may rely on Regulation Crowdfunding under the Securities Act of 1933 and related SEC rules. Securities purchased through crowdfunding are considered restricted securities under Rule 501(a) and may not be resold for one year except under limited circumstances permitted by law. These securities are not registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and investments are not protected by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) or any other investor compensation scheme. The platform is not a registered broker-dealer or investment adviser with the SEC unless explicitly stated, and it does not provide investment advice or make investment recommendations.
In Australia, equity crowdfunding is regulated under Part 6D.3A of the Corporations Act 2001 and supervised by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). Investors may be subject to specific investment caps and eligibility requirements. The platform does not guarantee or assume responsibility for compliance by issuers with Australian securities laws, and investors should be aware that investments are not covered by any investor protection or guarantee scheme.
In New Zealand, equity crowdfunding is regulated by the Financial Markets Authority (FMA) under Part 6 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. Investments made through this platform are not guaranteed, insured, or covered by any compensation scheme. Investors should carefully review all disclosure information and seek independent financial and legal advice before making any commitment to invest.
In the European Union, equity crowdfunding is regulated under the EU Crowdfunding Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2020/1503). Investor protection frameworks may differ between member states, and cross-border enforcement of investor rights may be limited. The platform does not guarantee compliance by issuers with EU regulatory obligations, and investors should carefully assess the legal and regulatory environment applicable to their investment.
The platform does not provide legal, financial, tax, or investment advice. All information made available through the platform is provided by issuers or third parties and is not independently verified. The platform does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any information provided. Investors are solely responsible for conducting their own due diligence, assessing risks, and obtaining professional advice prior to investing. Investments made through this platform may have tax consequences in your jurisdiction, and it is your sole responsibility to comply with applicable tax and reporting requirements.
By proceeding with any investment through this platform, you acknowledge and accept that the platform and its affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive losses arising from your investment activity, including but not limited to the total loss of your investment. You confirm that you understand the high-risk nature of these investments, that you are not relying on any representations or guarantees from the platform, and that you are making an independent and informed decision.
